Linday Lohan crash lawsuit will go to trial

Lindsay Lohan has another court date.

A judge Tuesday refused to dismiss portions of a lawsuit against the
21-year-old actress over an October 2005 accident in which her
Mercedes-Benz collided with a van.

Superior Court Judge Michael L. Stern rejected a motion that argued the
lawsuit lacked legal sufficiency, and set April 7 for the trial.

The California Highway Patrol concluded that Raymundo Ortega, a busboy,
caused the accident by making an illegal U-turn, but he sued Lohan and is
seeking at least $200,000 in damages.

Ortega was knocked out in the crash, said his attorney, Robert G. Klein.

Lohan and a female passenger sustained minor injuries.

Ortega's suit contends that Lohan was fleeing paparazzi and was under the
influence of alcohol at the time of the crash.

"This case is about responsibility and she's not taking responsibility,"
Klein said outside court.

Lohan's attorney, David J. Ozeran, said outside court that there was no
evidence that Lohan was intoxicated.

Last month, Lohan agreed to spend a day in jail and complete a drug
treatment program after pleading guilty or no contest to misdemeanor
drunken driving and cocaine charges stemming from arrests earlier this
year in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica.
